Kikuyu seedheads by dide

Kikuyu seedheads

Our lawn at home is almost all kikuyu grass, a native of South Africa, which has been introduced into NZ. The following day, (after the lawn has been mowed), these small filaments pop up, with tiny seed heads. They are only 2-3cm high.
This is totally gorgeous. I love it

Love the photo, the detail and colours are exquisite. But like Julia, you can have my share of kikuyu too.

@julzmaioro @golftragic agreed - but we've got it, so I guess we just need to control it - does make a nice lawn, but it's so very invasive….

I know this grass and I've never seen it looking so picturesque!

@maggiemae Yes it's all very lovely until it creeps into the garden, climbs and smothers your new trees and generally takes over - a good frost slows it, but when it's warmer, back it comes.

Wonderful macro shot! The detail is just perfect, they look so fragile! x

@lilminimonka yes - and it was windy (yesterday) when I took this shot - I will try again one day when it's not blowing so hard and there's more dew around.

Nice and delicate image

Never looked at kikuyu that close, great image. I like kikuyu in the lawn, just hate it when it gets out of control.

Not so good when you have just mown it but it looks very pretty! On reading the above comments I don't think it is very popular!
